help please
i use a dll (ASP) that uses the serial port to connect to a out of date disk reader
that work fine if the disk reader is hook up to the servers serial port

is there any way to hook up the disk reader to a CLIENTS computer let im navigate to my web page(ASP) and use it
trought my asp web page???

is this posible??
what technologies are involved??

I dont think so. ASP is a server side language, which means it runs on the server and after that is finished.

the only way I could think of to do this is using javascript, vbscript, or java. but I don't know if either of these can actually do anything with the serial port.

You cannot do this with just ASP. As Stefan said, ASP is a server-side language and is processed on the server before it is sent to a client. Also, the security settings would prohibit this from happening.

The only way to do this through the web would be to create some sort of Java or ActiveX application.
